23 September 2025 (nip in the air)

nip in the air

a squirrel carries off

the sunflower’s head

22 September 2025 (the pulse)

the pulse of dawn lobster boats

21 September 2025 (the sky)

the sky slips into autumn blue chicory

20 September 2025 (morning chill)

morning chill

keeping the warblers

to myself

19 September 2025 (all the choices)

all the choices

that led to this moment

shadow darner

18 September 2025 (island dawn)

island dawn

a glimpse of a warbler’s

thousand-mile flight

17 September 2025 (schoolyard)

schoolyard . . .

splitting the husk

to release the chestnut

16 September 2025 (spy-hopping seals)

spy-hopping seals . . .

the shore path overgrown

with wild asters

15 September 2025 (sun on stone)

sun on stone

barnacles open

to the incoming tide

14 September 2025 (ravens at dawn)

ravens at dawn

a version of the story

that rings true

13 September 2025 (offshore breeze)

offshore breeze

a migrating osprey

sails past the lighthouse
